Back off topic:  What is it about shitty little towns that put up huge Goddamn ridiculous monuments to stupid shit?  The giant nickel in Sudbury is almost as depressing as the big concrete cashew in Seguin.

A giant nickel. 

Around here we mostly satisfy ourselves with Paul Bunyan, because Paul Bunyan.

However, we also have what may be Oregon's most famous and beloved roadside attraction, the Mystery Hole.

We have a 20 foot tall Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Tucson, for reasons that nobody can seem to explain properly.

I mean, other than our logging industry, that is.

Gardner, MA, has a giant chair.



The offspring of Pilgrims are fucking boring.

WTF

Some tard did this piece of "conceptual art", about 20 miles away:

One of our local Washington historic crazy guys, Sam Hill, replicated it in concrete, for reasons that are not totally understood:

the Mystery Hole.

Was Enrico's nickname in high school.

Wait wait wait...

What? WTF would Paul Bunyan even cut down in Tucson? Boojum trees?

I DON'T KNOW.  IT'S JUST THERE.

We have old-timey looking shoes (and maybe some boots) spread out around the city. All painted differently.



They just appeared one day and I think every so often new ones show up.

You do realize that these are the disguised alien races Nigel and I talk about from time to time.  They're using our "someone else's problem" factor against us.

Fridgehenge is pretty cool!

I don't have any pictures, but there's a guy down by the prison who's trying to build a Stonehenge out of schoolbuses set on end, as some kind of protest.

This thread is now about insane hats Portland considers normal.

[hooplala]

(DAMMIT, I WAS GOING TO POST ABOUT HOW A FEDORA IS AN AL CAPONE HAT AND A TRILBY IS ONE OF THOSE HATS WORN BY STINGY, SMELLY OLD MEN. WE USED TO CALL THEM "COCKSUCKER HATS" BECAUSE OF THE NARROW BRIM AND THE FACT THAT NOBODY LIKES PEOPLE WHO WEAR THOSE.)

I've read that the trilby was introduced to fit inside cars as they began to shrink in size in the 1960s... so I think it's fair to say we can blame the hippies for this.

I think its the municipal version of a roadside attraction.

The only people who would stop for something like that are already in Branson, Missouri.

Yeah, nickels and cement nuts don't BURN.

I kind of wish I'd gotten to see THIS, though.

[hooplala]

That's from the end of the 1976 version of King Kong, right?
